Re: [pkgsrc] ICU needs configure CFLAGS='-03'

[Benny Siegert <bsiegert%gmail.com@localhost>]

Is that a zero or an uppercase O?

This sounds very much like a local issue. Can you look in the
config.log of a failed configure run what the command line and the
error was? (I assume you are overriding something else in your default
CFLAGS with your call.)

The first essential in chemistry is that you should perform practical
work and conduct experiments, for he who performs not practical work
nor makes experiments will never attain the least degree of mastery.
